After three games without a win, Caykur Rizespor won their home game against Denizlispor.




After losing against Genclerbirligi without the Egyptian players Beshir and Hosny, in this game both players were on the pitch. Beshir played the whole game while Hosny played the last thirty minutes.

First half:

5th minute: A Rize attack with Unal. He passes the ball to Murat Sozkesen who is one-on-one with Denizlispor’s keeper, Souleymanou. Murat Sozkesen beats Souleymanou and gives Rizespor an early lead; 1-0.

20th minute: Timucin of Denizlispor finds Ersen Martin, who shoots the ball from outside the box, but his low shot goes wide.

29th minute: Rizespor almost double the lead. Murat Sozkesen goes into the box from the left. He goes past the goalkeeper and shoots, but his shot is cleared off the line by Guven.

36th minute: A corner kick for Denizlispor is taken by Alp. His cross is headed towards the goal by Ersen Martin, but the ball goes over the bar.

37th minute: With Zafer’s through pass Okan Ozturk is one-on-one with Souleymanou, but his shot goes just wide.

Caykur Rizespor were the better side in the first half. They created a few chances and didn’t give any chances away.

Second half:

55th minute: Cem Baki heads the ball after a cross from Okan from the left, but the header goes just wide.

60th minute: Ahmed Salah Hosny comes on to replace Gurol.

61st minute: Zafer takes the corner kick from the left. Beshir shoots after his pass, but the ball comes back off keeper Souleymanou, but Okan Ozturk is there to finish; 2-0.

In the rest of the game both teams didn’t create any opportunities. Rize were satisfied with the 2-0 lead and Denizlispor were not good enough to create any chances.

Beshir played the entire game and showed a good display. With Beshir in the team, Rize didn’t give much away like in the game against Genclerbirligi. Hosny played the last thirty minutes and couldn’t impress.

Caykur Rizespor are now in seventh place in the league.
